Wildlife Populations Have Declined 69% Since 1970

Our environmental crisis is much larger and broader and extends beyond air pollution. The World Wildlife Fund reported (Living Planet Report 2022)   that wildlife has declined 69% since 1970.

WWF attributes the loss of wildlife to our unsustainable use of our planet’s resources which has created the dual crises of biodiversity loss and climate change.Noting they are not only environmental issues, but economic, development, security, social, moral, and ethical issues too. 

The largest losses were with freshwater species.
